This is the closest I'm likely to get to an official website - the place to announce & discuss all of my current & upcoming projects (comix, magazine articles & columns, fiction & metafiction, & music), & to share my thoughts on the arts, media, music, film, pop culture & politics. I'll publish for the first time online older writings from hard copy magazines & newspapers. I'll also post artwork, videos, or just blog away on whatever occupies my brain.

FLICKER STREET Treatment # 10 - Thaumaturgy

And so we come to a key chapter in our ongoing narrative....

Flicker Street Treatment #10
– Thaumaturgy

I. Dark Roots

Now we take a sharp turn to
the left – the Left Hand Path, as it were. This attempt to document
the tangled genealogies and fantastic exploits of those who practice
magick in this world we are building will hopefully clarify rather
than obfuscate. This can be done by tracing the lineage of our
thaumaturgical tree, and describing the strange fruit it bears.

At the topmost branch (or
deepest root depending on one's perspective) are the Presences, those
beings worshiped by the Pisceans as dark gods. There are only a
handful of these beings glimpsed in certain accounts. The most
powerful of these are “brothers” Abraxas and Vaikuntha, offspring
of the abstruse Presence whose name can only approximately be
rendered as Xhuquaqua-Quoeln (the Tamerlane line in recent centuries
supposedly adopted “Qua” as a family name in obeisance to this
abstract being). This fearsome Presence gave birth through
parthenogensis.

Vaikuntha has no known true
offspring (though in an avatar form he impregnated a woman once, then
jumped consciousness into the soulless infant body, was born, and
swiftly aged the child's body back to a facsimile of the older
Vaikuntha). Despite his general lack of emotional of sexual ties to
other beings, the malevolent Being has spent more time on Earth than
any other Presence, and is especially fond of Earth. When Vaikuntha
is glad, Earth is his dominion. When the multi-limbed Presence – a
diety among many men – is in sour disposition, the Earth quakes
beneath his fury. He is sworn enemy of all humans and Exodesians
alike. Vaikuntha draws his name from the Heavenly abode of Lord
Vishnu in Hindu religion; his true appellation has been forgotten by
his own design.

Abraxas is a fearsome and
oblique Presence. He takes his name from an ancient Greek Gnostic
prinicle or entity. Abraxas has a number of descendants through his
three known offspring: the Presences Caprice, Thrall, and Demiurge.
These issue of Abraxas and one of his mates, Shahava, number among
the eldest living beings in the known realities. Who knows how many
issue sprung from these three over the millenia? We shall examine a
handful shortly.

We know from previous
accounts that the earliest contact with long-lived alien, or
extradimensional beings, on Earth took place c. 20,000 years ago, or
18,000 BCE. The Omegans and and Pisceans converged on Earth at that
time at the place known as Terminal Pointe in English, on Mt. Mosaic
on the North American continent. Thence, they began their alchemical
mating experiments in Africa, which in several generations yielded
the hybrid race the Exodesians. The Omegans, under the direction of
pilot Ph'nath, also emerged on Earth nearly as long ago, at a
Ziggurat in South America – in a territory whose “ownership”
has been fought over by the indigenous peoples of Libania and
Serafinia for centuries. Shortly after Ph'nath's arrival, a Piscean
envoy appeared to keep the peace, as it were. And so the balance of
Earth's fate was struck.

The Presences (except
Vaikuntha as noted above) on occasion mated with humans and
Exodesians (pardon if the information given hence is repetitive; it
merely stands to set the bloodlines in a greater context). The
earliest such mating occurred in relatively modern times, i.e. in the
CE period as we measure time in the West. The eldest of Abraxas'
terrible litter was the Demiurge, a frightful being invoked only
sparingly in the Piscean clusters. Demiurge mated with an Exodesian
princess consecrated to him, Ayazela of the house of the priest
Tyrlus. and their offspring was a being called Tyrlus Drexus, another
entity sworn to make those of Earth bend the knee or pay the ultimate
price. Drexus is called on and worshiped as was his father by
Exodesians and human magi alike.

The next two matings of the
children of Abraxas the Abstruse (as he came to be called by modern
occult scribes, who also dubbed Abaraxas' cult followers as simply
'The Abstruse' or 'the Order of the Thaumaturge'; alternately 'The
Order of the Cosmic Awakening') occurred significantly later than the
birthing of the fearsome Tyrlus Drexus. Abraxas' daughter, known as
Caprice, was what some men might dub a succubus, though she was far
from that. She seduced and was bonded to a man born of a human
father, Izaiah Karollus (a Jewish kabbalist, b.c. 1314) and an
Exodesian maiden Tarish (b.c. 999) This man, Lucius Karollus, b.
1353) impregnated Caprice, and their only offspring was called Biazel
Karollus (born 1387), a prime mover in magickal events on Earth –
some might say the prime mover .

It's difficult to determine
how many offspring Biazell may have fathered in his seven centuries
on Earth, but three, all by different mothers, figure definitively in
our larger narrative. Biazel had settled in Hallmark in 1898, bent on
accessing its mystic ley lines and Mt. Mosaic (he had tried in the
past but been defeated). He appeared to be an elderly Victorian dress-clad dandy.
He founded the cults and covens collectively known as 'The Abstruse'
and churned out many scholarly and some rather light-hearted tomes on
ritual magick and thaumaturgy. He kept his background prior to
Hallmark shrouded in rumor and legend.

In 1899, he wed the
headstrong intellectual Alanna ver Dorn (b. 1869; the “old maid”
daughter of Hallmark co-founder Ambrosius ver Dorn, himself
half-Exodesian), who gave birth to Biazel's wickedly beloved
daughter, Velupsa Karollus, in April of 1900. The child, however, was
declared still born and Alanna sued successfully for divorce from the
unflappable Biazel. Biazel simply raised his child in secret, with a
succession of surrogate mothers, molding her into a thaumaturgical
weapon.

II. The Fabricands and the
AvrilsThe perennially youthful and
seductive Velupsa Karollus had only a handful of known partners, but
that was enough to secure the mystical dynasties of the Avrils and
the Fabricands. In 1928 Velupsa wed Smith Fabricand (1906-1956)
offspring of Hercule Fabricand, b. 1881; and Artemisia Smith). In
1930 Smith and Velupsa begat their elder son John Paul Fabricand, who
married Paige Bradcroft (another descendant of Cormac Llewyn Paige
and his son Miles, co-founders of Hallmark). They had no issue of
their own but raised Kyle , Paige's son by Evan Eloy Queeq, as theirs
(much to the boy's ultimate detriment).

In 1936, Velupsa and Smith
had Anatole Fabricand, a man much less mystically inclined towards
the mystic arts. Anatole actually became a psychoanalyst and spent
years as an analyst to the so-called “mystery men”. He encouraged
his daughter, Tabitha, b. 1967, to follow suit in the field of mental
health. Tabitha's mother, Edwidge Avril, also hailed from a mystical
background, her parents being the mage Keegan Avril (1900-1956),
descendant of Exodesians. Tabitha did indeed become a clinical
psychologist, against the urging of her stepfather Rudolph Dawes
(Edwidge divorced Anatole shortly after the birth of their second
child and married Dawes, with whom she had a tempestuous
relationship). Tabitha's sister Urania, born in 1974, the gifted
offspring of an Avril and a Fabricand, is among the most precocious
and awe-inspiring of young magickal talents. Velupsa's blood
certainly courses in her veins. As it does strongly in her uncle, the
man born Damon Karollus in 1956, but most commonly known as Dr. Damon
Carroll, or, in certain circles, as “The Serpent's Tooth”.

The divorced Velupsa welcomed
a man she was deeply attracted to, the Skull executive Bromley
Chamberlain, into her coven of the Abstruse and into her bed in 1956.
At this point only a handful knew Chamberlain's true ID as Kong,
notably the Exodesian arch-priest Urias. By 1956, Velupsa had driven
Kong near madness with her lust, her demands, her overpowering
persona – but she gave birth to Damon, his son. Only Urias knew the
truth for decades; Kong did not, nor did his son. Damon Carroll ended
up in a foster home and Velupsa took her own life (in 1958) on a
twisted dare from Kong, who distanced himself as much as possible
from Biazel and his cult for many years. Damon went on to play a key
role in the history of the Aggregate, and finally learned the
identity of his true father.

Regarding the Avrils, their
line in America began with the French Raoul Avril (b. 1872) and his
Scottish wife Martine Keegan, whose line could be traced back to much
Pictish breeding with Exodesians. Their son Keegan (1900-1956) wed
Astrid Janssen, Astrid was the daughter of Bjorn Janssen, child of
Cormac Llewyn Paige (though only Ewen Cromwell knew this) and
Cormac's other Indian lover Mary Cloud. Bjorn was passed off as Mary
's husband Stole's son. Astrid's mother was also mostly American
Indian; her name was Hester Hand, and her relative, Hiawatha Hand,
joined the Aggregate in 1971. And so Astrid Janssen was the
great-granddaughter of Ewen Cromwell.

Keegan had a brother Quint
Avril, b. 1910, who was a persistent foe and rival of Vance Orlison.
Keegan himself, with Astrid, had Raoul Avril II, b. 1934; Egon Avril,
b. 1938; Charmain Avril, b. 1942; and, lastly, Edwidge Avril, b.
1947. Raoul wed Wanda Jimenez, the half-Latino,
half-African-American daughter of the Avrils' servant Betty Jimenez.
They married very young, and their interracial union scandalized a
number of Hallmark's blue bloods, but they remained together for many
years. They had a son, James Avril, born 1952, who became an Air
Force test pilot. James, however, distanced himself slightly from his
parents and identified himself as “Jim April”. April became a
trial subject for REACT-subsidized TSD experimentation in the 1970s.
SkullCorp had struck a deal to share some of their technology with
REACT, who added its benefits to America's ever-growing arms race.
The TSD gave Jim April what he called “the Flare” (which he also
took to calling himself), an ability to control flame. He was
conscripted to duty for REACT in 1976, at the launch of their
“Liberation Ops” program (also known as “Freedom Ops”, a name
preferred by its nominal leader Roger Greer). This program was
intended to birth a government-owned and sanctioned group along the
general lines of the Aggregate. More information on Freedom Ops will
be detailed in upcoming treatments.

Raoul and Wanda Avril tried
unsuccessfully to have more children over the years, while Raoul's
brother Egon married archaeologist Stephanie Ransom. They had two
sons, Karl Raoul Avril, b. 1964, and Jesputh Ransom Avril, b. 1967.
Stephanie was a partner in Randell Coventry's Coventry Expeditions,
which merged with Bradcroft Ltd. In 1982. Keegan Avril's first
daughter, buxom beauty Charmain Avril, was an exotic dancer, and was
quite a superstar in the 1960s and 1970s. She remained single until
1982, when she retired and married Dr. Lawrence Rubinstien. Keegan's
youngest daughter Edwidge's marriage and offspring have been
discussed above.

Keegan Avril and Smith
Fabricand met their demise together in 1956 at the hands of Nocturno.
They had been plotting against Cary Bradcroft since his move to
Hallmark early that year. They wished to garner the attention of the
Exodesian ruling religious sect, the Obscuros (from which the
Abstruse gains much of their knowledge, passed down from Piscean
principles) by slaying the “one that got away”, Cary Bradcroft.
They offered to sacrifice Cary to the Obscuros, actually. The
Arch-Priest and Grand Necromancer, Urias (discussed elsewhere in this
chronicle), was all in favor of the idea. When Avril and Fabricand
tried to capture Cary, Nocturno appeared and simply destroyed them
with a powerful working he had been preparing for the dangerous duo
for some time. Cary was stunned at Nocturno's first use of his undead
power to take human lives, and girded himself for a war with other
mages that never came. For Nocturno's actions served as an
unequivocal statement that the Shadow Baron was not to be trifled
with. Thus a magickal cold war of sorts began that lasted for some
years, until Exodesian priests craving power caught the attention of
the brothers Bradcroft.Before his demise, Smith had remarried, to Patricia Paige, daughter of Miles Paige II and Blanche Westin. Their daughter, Milicent Sherrad Fabricand, born 1954, grew up to be a very kind, maternal woman who ultimately helped the Aggregate immensely and tried more than once to settle down with two of its most prominent members. III. The Disraelis and the
Van Jusses

The Bradcrofts have been
much-discussed up until now, but their many notable offspring and
extended families have yet to be covered. To understand the roots of
these families, we must consider one Janos Disraeli. Disraeli's
origins are uncertain. It is known that he is European, of an
indeterminate age, and the father of two children by two different
wives. What is certain is that for a time, he was possibly Earth's
most fearsome sorcerer, with power to rival or exceed that of the
Bradcrofts, Biazel Karollus, or any Exodesian. He surely carries the
blood of Exodesia, Omega, or Pisces or is of some descent from one of
the Presences.

Disraeli led the Order of
Gammadion, an ancient secret society founded by a man said to be
descended from the eldest known Exodesians. Gammadion was a priest
who lived at least 10,000 years ago and was the maternal grandson of
the druid Brithemain, who at one point guarded the Ziggurat in South
America. Brithemain was the son of a human tribeswoman, Salvara, a
Serafinian, and the ancient Exodesian explorer named Tephiris, who
criss-crossed our planet in his Pod in antediluvian times and spread
his seed far. He waged war, but yearned for peace, with the
Exodesians. Gammadion's uncle, Mordechai, was a member of Gammadion's
order, a warrior priest who may have been the longest lived man ever
born on Earth. In 1498 CE, Mordechai had his last known dalliance
with a mortal woman – a barmaid called Finn Cromwell. From this
union sprang Ewen Cromwell.

Gammadion disappeared from
his order well before the founding of Hallmark, some said to find a
means to extend his already preternaturally long life. Some have
whispered that Gammadion is willing the order to his heirs, for they
believe Janos Disraeli is Gammadion's true son. It is unknown just
when Janos Disraeli stepped in to lead the sect, though what is known
is that Janos took the sect in a somewhat different direction.
Gammadion's taste ran more towards Omegan alchemy; Disraeli preserved
this, but injected some arcane rights from the Pisceans. Disraeli
called his group at times the “true Exodesia”, and claimed to
have a more balanced outlook than Exodesians, whom he saw as
sycophants to Pisces and its dark Presences. Exodesia's obsession
with infiltrating and eventually displacing humanity held no charm
for Disraeli. The Obscuros and Biazel Karollus alike scoffed at
Janos.

Disraeli's major accomplice
in his occult activities was Griffin Van Juss (b. 1890), the son of
Enoch Van Juss, one of the Dutch settlers who founded Hallmark. It is
unknown if Enoch, like several of the settlers, carried Exodesian
blood, though it seems likely. Griffin Van Juss had three children:
twins Remuel and Katherine, b. 1923; and Rachael, b. 1927. The three
siblings met Cary and Ashton Bradcroft in 1945, while in college at
Oxford. The five of them formed a coven, along with Cary's lover, the
half-Indian Jerusha Dharma, and, later, the duplicitous young Myrus T
Fellbane.

Katherine and Ashton soon
began an affair; unfortunately Rachael was also in love with Ashton.
The coven studied through the late 1940s and into the 1950s. During
their studies, Janos Disraeli himself taught them much, but they
wrongly felt that the Order of Gammadion was an evil path. The
Bradcrofts were good men, but filled, alas, with hubris. In 1954,
Remuel and Katherine quit the coven to join their father in
Disraeli's order, while Rachael remained with the Bradcrofts.
Katherine discovered she was pregnant with Ashton's child. Disraeli
knew the twin brothers were bound for Exodesia, and he did not wish
to encroach on the hidden land. The Bradcroft twins did just that,
but Rachael stayed behind. Jerusha and Fellbane both insisted on
coming.

The details of the Bradcroft
expedition can be found in treatment #1: Backstory. Suffice to say,
only Cary penetrated Exodesia and survived to tell of it. Ashton was
destroyed but resurrected as an undead homonculous in the Obscuros'
birthing chamber. Cary lived, and gained extraordinary mystical
knowledge at a staggering rate inside the chamber. He felt his brain
would explode.

By 1955, Cary had regrouped
in Europe, traveling and sorting through his newfoundc knowledge. In
the meantime, Fellbane took Jerusha to London, where his cousin
employed them. She had a son that year, a boy she named Vincent
Cliven Dharma, or Clive. She gave Clive an amulet his father, Cary
Bradcroft, had given her. Clive grew up hating his father and
wondering why he abandoned Jerusha. Fellbane made sure this belief
was fostered. Clive Dharma will be discussed extensively in future
installments but for now we turn to his extended family.

While Cary made his way
across Europe, his brother had found Rachael Van Juss and told her
the shocking truth of his new existence. After she digested the
horrid news, she agreed, out of a love she still felt for Ashton, to
take part in a magickal working with him. Now known only as Nocturno,
the man who was Ashton Bradcroft used alchemy - ancient, complex,
possibly deadly - alchemy to infuse his essence into Rachael van
Juss, thus entering into an alchemical wedding with her, and, even
more startling, an alchemical pregnancy resulted.

Nocturno learned that
Katherine had given birth to his child. She named the boy Ashton van
Juss and was not shy about his parentage. Nocturno refused to come
for her or the child, though, and Rachael lied to her family about
the source of her own pregnancy. When her odd-looking daughter was
born in late 1955, she named her Silent Indigo (for she was dark of
skin and mute) and agreed to raise her. She kept Nocturno's secrets,
and Griffin van Juss was outraged, demanding to know what sort of
inhuman being fathered Silent Indigo. The van Jusses were living in
Holland when Rachael returned to them, so, in 1959 Griffin summoned
Cary Bradcroft to his Dutch manor, and he confronted the Shadow
Baron. Remuel demanded his father slay Cary Bradcroft. Katherine,
however, yearned for Cary as she had his brother, and they
consummated their desire for each other. Cary fought Griffin, slaying
him in the process. Remuel and Katherine attacked Cary, but he
escaped and returned to Hallmark. He was distressed that he had to
kill Griffin; he was even more distressed when he learned the darkest
family secret: that Remuel and Katherine were engaged in an
incestuous affair. Unsure of her baby's father, Katherine nonetheless
kept it and it was a daughter she named Sarah Janos van Juss, b.
1960.

As for Janos Disraeli, he
was attracted to a number of women in the 1960s, among them
Katherine. The two wed in 1963, and he agreed to raise Justin and
Sarah (he was already the girl's godfather). He put a permanent stop
to Remuel's and Katherine's affair by basically frightening Remuel
into leaving Holland. Remuel headed to America; his first stop was
Hallmark, where he challenged Cary. Cary defeated him handily, and
Remuel slunk away, ending up in New York City, where he opened a
small occult bookshop.

In 1965, Katherine gave
birth to Janos' first known child: Griffin Disraeli (known years later as Rory Sabbath). But there was
already a rift developing between Katherine and Janos. They divorced
the following year. Janos sought out Remuel in New York and was
amused by his bookshop. He was also a bit taken by a young woman who
hung out at the shop: an aspiring poet/ chanteuse named Sophie
Pavlinchak (b. 1947). Within a year Janos had charmed the young woman
with promises to bankroll her creative endeavors. She impulsively wed
the magician, and was soon expecting his child. In 1967, their
daughter Tana Disraeli was born. Sophie began traveling with her
band, and Janos allowed her this freedom and returned to Europe for a
short time. In that time, Sophie lit on Hallmark for a show, and was
immediately enamored of Flicker Street. She met a mysterious
gentleman, an older man called Bram Vallard. As sharp readers might
recall, Bram Vallard is the favored pseudonym of James Vallard
Tressilian, the Apparition (also known as Lambert Christensen, Royal
Hoxworth, and Saturnine). Vallard wooed the impetuous young musician,
to no avail.

IV. Sophie

In 1969, Vallard, who was
still infatuated with Sophie, invited the Disraelis to his retreat in
China. They were hosted by Vallard's young son Archimedes Ko.
Disraeli was no stranger in China. He had visited Feng Qi on one
previous occasion and met with its mistress, Shun Ti. Vallard had
trained in the Orient all through the 1920s and periodically returned
to his resort there. Unfortunately for all, Biazel had plans for
Sophie Pavlinchak as well. He decreed that she would serve as fodder
for one of the Presences, who would destroy Disraeli and Vallard, two
of the many figures Biazel saw as potential threats to him. He and
Janos had a centuries-long rivalry, and Biazel foretold that this was
to be the perfect time to end it once and for all.

Biazel summoned the Presence
known only as Thrall, who destroyed Janos Disraeli and ravished his
wife after drugging Vallard, who dreamt he was making love with
Sophie. She was in a delirious state the entire time. She dreamt she
was with Bram and was unaware of Thrall's violation. Thrall
disappeared into its own plane. Ko managed to get his father, Sophie,
and little Tana to safety and to medical attention. Sophie went to
Europe and attended Disraeli's funeral. Vallard invited her to
convalesce at his chateau, to which she agreed. She soon found she
was pregnant; she skaed Vallard to give the child his name as he
likely the father. Vallard honestly did not recall his time in a
drugged state, except that it was possible he and Sophie made love.
So he agreed to wed her at the chateau. She did not wish to be
married again so soon, but Vallard insisted; he was old-fashioned
that way. But he soon had to return to Hallmark and help with the
final confrontation with Kanabal. He was away for weeks, and later
that year (1970), Sophie had a son she named Devon Vallard. Devon was
the first child born of a human and one of the Presences since
Biazel's birth, and he swore he would one day claim the child for the
Order of the Thaumaturge.

In 1973, Vallard went on
what he deemed one last mission as the Apparition, with Shadow Baron
and some of the Aggregate. Vallard's ultimate purpose was to
assassinate Biazel. This mission will be detailed in future
treatments; the word after the mission though was that the Apparition
had not made it back alive. Archimedes Ko took over the Apparition's
retreat, and was soon recruited to help train Ko's nephew, Liao Jun
Kim (or June Kim Liao, b. 1967), who figures prominently in the
future of Flicker Street.

Twice widowed, with two
young children, Sophie Pavlinchak had returned to New York to advance
her career. She suffered from deep depression and nightmares for
years, and eventually slid into drug addiction. She had two notable
affairs in the 1970s. In 1973, she slept with Remuel van Juss one
night at his bookshop. She was soon pregnant again, though she wished
no further contact with van Juss and regretted the entire sordid
incident. She strongly considered an abortion, but ultimately decided
to bear the child. She would raise it herself, she decided. The child
was born in 1974. She named him Iain Pavlinchak; Iain after her own
father, Ian Rhys McGregor. And thus we see another reason Biazel
targeted Sophie; she was not merely a wayward and troubled young
intellectual with dreams of fame as a rock star poet. She also had a
genetic destiny, since her father was not only a great hero but also
the bastard son of Exodesian Arch-Priest Urias. Her mother, Silvana
Pavlinchak, had met McGregor during World War II and had a passionate
affair, which resulted in Sophie.

Sophie had a mentor in New
York, Matthias Creed, who was an underground filmmaker of some
repute, having directed such provocative films as Awakening
in Hell and was
working throughout the 70s on his magnum opus Abraxas Rising. Matthias,
though gay, had married a woman briefly in the 1940s and had a son,
Emeril Creed. Emeril and his father had a strained relationship, but
Emeril was essentially good-natured, not dark at all like Sophie's
previous lovers. She had vowed never to be wed again, but relented to
see if the “nice guy” was her cup of tea. She soon decided he was
not, but by this time had given him a daughter, Kirillian Creed, born
in November 1977.

Sophie did something bold
and, some would say, cruel at this point. She sought out Bram Vallard
with the help of her best friend from Flicker Street – Orphee de
Lander, whom she also saw as a mentor of sorts. Orphee contacted
Archimedes Ko, and soon realized Vallard was not truly dead. Ko
contacted Sophie and agreed to take her to his father. Ko believed
that Devon Vallard was not really his half-brother but declined to
theorize exactly why he speculated this. Sophie flew to meet with
Vallard. She took along her first three children but left Kirillian
with Emeril.

Upon seeing Bram again and
conferring with him, she agreed with him that there was much more to
Devon's conception than they realized. Vallard, detective that he
was, was convinced his own son Ko was in on Janos Disraeli's death
and the drugging of Sophie and Vallard. Sophie implored Vallard to
help her fake her own death; she was burnt out on her lifestyle,
wished to get clean, and, rather callously, wished to detach herself
from the Creed family for good. Vallard declined to help her, but Ko
stepped in and acquiesced. It was only a matter of time before word
reached Emeril Creed that his wife and mother of his infant daughter
had died in a plane crash coming home to them.

Sophie's descent into
darkness continued, and she eventually abandoned Devon, wishing no
more reminders of the mysterious incident. As for Emeril Creed, he
quickly remarried and Thelma Bruce, his new wife, adopted Kirillian
Creed. The Creeds agreed to do what they could to expunge the child's
memory of any trace of Sophie, though Matthias Creed, who loved his
granddaughter dearly, was opposed to this. As fate would have it,
Emeril took a job in Hallmark in 1980, and Thelma passed away of
cancer in 1988. From then on, Kirillian took a liking to hiking to
escape her blues, and told her father often that one day she'd scale
Mt. Mosaic and learn its secrets. She had an instinctive intuition
that Mt. Mosaic was of importance to all humanity. It would be some
years, but she would come to learn how correct she was.
